Imagine The Possibilities
We’ve covered Imagine in the past, and let me tell you, the festival is magical, to say the least! This is the Southeast’s most immersive electronic festival that brings the heat with this lineup, as they do every year! Just imagine the possibilities of a festival like this. Phase One is magical, that is for sure! September 14th-17th, the festival touches down in Kingston Downs, GA. This is something we’ve all been anticipating for so long. Imagine promises to be truly immersive and includes not only the best music, but also art installations, wellness programming, and a vibrant community at one of North America’s most picturesque camping venues. For four days and nights, you’ll be grooving to the biggest and best in electronic music!
Who’s on this lineup? Enjoy the who’s who with celebrated names such as HypnoVision label head Rezz, Black Book Records boss Chris Lake, renowned electronic duo and Gud Vibrations leaders Slander, floor-filling tech house sensation John Summit for an Off The Grid takeover, and a Sunset Set from Australian tech house king Dom Dolla. Additional highlights include a special performance from dubstep icon Svdden Death: Into The Inferno, the mind-splitting sonics of Zomboy, the inimitable live multi-instrumentalist duo Big Gigantic, a DJ set from Middle Eastern production duo Infected Mushroom, emotionally-charged producers Dabin and Said The Sky’s collaborative Dab the Sky, and the transcendent productions of Jade Cicada.
And ready for those back to backs? Imagine always has some crazy ones, including many that will be ver be seen anywhere else. These head to head throwdowns include Dillon Francis and bass music breakout Knock2, the heavier frequencies of NGHTMRE and Diesel aka the larger than life Shaquille O’Neal, and HE$H teaming with Level Up for a bass and dubstep throwdown.
We aren’t done with the lineup yet. Joining us this fall will be none other than melodic bass favorite Nurko, Aussie exports ShockOne and Skeler, and bass music powerhouse Whipped Cream. The lineup’s depth is further cemented by internationally-recognized hip-hop and Latin-influenced producer Boombox Cartel, DJ/producer and vocalist duo Bonnie x Clyde, trap heavyweight Crankdat, and Terminal Underground leader Matroda.
House music fans know that they will have their place at the festival as well. Expect the likes of Brazilian producer Vintage Culture, groove-driven hitmaker Dombresky, the meteoric Hellbent Records boss Cloonee, forward-thinking house innovator Dr. Fresch, Rose Avenue and Afterlife favorite Cassian, and progressive house producer Spencer Brown.
There are tons of artists who are growing by the day such as emerging house sensation VNSSA, multi-instrumentalist producer Bad Snacks, the darker stylings of bass duo Hi I’m Ghost, melodic singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist JVNA, and other rising names including Layz, A Hundred Drums, Emorfik, Paraleven, Eazybaked, and more.
Want to extend the party into Thursday? The pre party is going to be awesome! Join emerging star ISOxo for one of the first exclusive performances of the rising producer’s debut album ‘kidsgonemad!’ hosted by Brownies & Lemonade and featuring additional performances from Ninajirachi, Squired, Stooki Sound, Villa, and a live set from dance trio Wavedash. This year for the first time, the party will be exclusive for all campers with early arrival. Winning!
And if you’ve never been to a pool party, you are missing out! These are some of the BEST things on the planet! Pool Parties will be held Saturday and Sunday featuring sets from Dombresky’s Disco Dom alias and Never Dull on Saturday plus Dillon Francis’ deeper house alias DJ Hanzel and Nala on Sunday. Renowned record label Monstercat, Brownies and Lemonade, and John Summit’s Off The Grid will also host their own stage for the first time at the festival. We’re psyched!

It’s a celebration of creativity, diversity, and possibility, and I am constantly in awe of the incredible energy and passion that our attendees bring to the event.
